Occasionally missing incoming calls (S200) - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Hi,
I hope someone can shed some light on this strange situation.
Every once in a while, between once a week and once in 2 months, I run into a situation where my phone stops receiving calls. I can make calls, but in order to receive them I need to restart it - and then all works fine.
I don't hear a ring, I don't feel a vibrate - but I might get a message of a new voicemail from a missed call.
My phone service assured me that it's not a problem with the network or the service - but the phone itself.
Similarly - mostly noticeable after a nightly charge (and sync) - sometimes the screen (or the display of owner-information) seems to be stuck in such a way that I can receive calls but not do anything with the phone unless I restart it.
I don't know if there's a problem with the OS (WM5), memory, or running programs.
Here's my info - in case it has something to do with that:
Version:
ROM version: 2.9.7.24 WWE
ROM date: 2/9/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.9.7.106
Thanks in advance for any info regarding this.

To me, it sounds like an issue with either the ROM or the Radio ROM. Probably faster to check the wiki than wait for me to find links for the other Radio ROMs. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Radio_1_Upgrade

Thanks for the reply.
In brief, could you please tell me what would be the benefits of updating my Radio ROM? Would it improve reception? prevent buggy communication with the phone?
Are there any risks involved - like suddenly some programs would stop working?
I read an old post where a user using PhotoContacts Pro, like I am, seemed to have witnessed the same issues - so he just got used to soft-resetting every day. Maybe that's where my problem is....
Thanks again.

Updating the Radio ROM should prevent the bugs, as they are revised versions with errors removed. Some radio ROMs (2.69) have higher battery drain than older ones, but are relatively bug free.

Thanks - I'll give that a try.

wisbar 2 and desktop

Hi there, I'm a newbie and i'm having lots of problem with wizbar. I really want to use the software on my o2 mini but it keeps crashing. My main issue is when I get incoming calls my phone does not ring. Also why can't I use the vibrate option with wizbar turned on? The version I'm using is 2.5.0.1 All the help will be appreciated...
ROM VER: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM DATE: 03/14/05

im using the latest version of wisbar advance 2 and am not very impressed so far..
the skins give it a GREAT feel and thats why im still putting up with it. ive experienced a lot more crashing and freeze ups since ive installed it.
and out of no where sometimes, the entire skin would just vanish and go back to my mini xda default skin
i hope they throw out a fix asap..
I have not ran into this issue. The only thing is it is a mem hog on the universal. I don't mind that for the looks. All I can say is go Chris! and keep working on updates. I wouldn't go a day without his product. I cannot stand the default look of any WM device.

I must say, I recently installed the 2.5.0.1 version and it is not without its faults but a far better improvement on the previous version I had (can't remember the release).
This version for me is much faster than before. I actually used to experience the same problems of the skin disappearing etc. I have been running the 2.5.0.1 version and all seems to be fine so far.
I think everyone knows it's a good program; and I'm sure it will get better with every release.

Backlight comes on then phone freezes, any ideas?

Hi guys, wondered if anyone here can help me out,
My phone is now running the latest orange ROM update:
OPERATOR VERSION: 7.130.1.174
ROM VERSION: 1.30.90 WWE
ROM DATE: 02/24/06
RADIO VERSION: 1.03.00
PROTOCOL VERSION: 42.36.P8
ExtROM VERSION: 1.30.174 WWE
Ive now updated to the new software with PUSH email included. I thought this was going to solve a problem ive been having with my phone.
Ive tried looking on here and no one else seems to be getting the problem.
I have been an SPV over since the classic and I purchased an SPV M5000 around a week ago, it all works fine, except at around 3:30pm - 4:30pm every day, the phones backlight comes on. Apart from yesterday when it happened twice, at 4:30pm and at 10pm!
Everything seems normal until i try to look at some text messages and i cannot see them, they are blank. I cannot load anything else up either, eg programs,I then click on the OK at the top right.
I was curious so i tapped SETTINGS and then MEMORY and the following is displayed:
See attachment SCREEN SHOT 1
The slider wont work, and I cannot do anything, so i switch off the device using the normal power button method, no soft resetting or anything, and then put it on again and i get the following screen
See attachment SCREEN SHOT 2
Now i make sure that there is plenty of program memory free as you can see by the screen shot, there is over 20mb free, so i dont understand why this is happening?
After a soft reset the phones fine. I havent got any extra software loaded, i havent messed around with the ROM settings, the registry of anything, its just been upgraded to the latest orange ROM.
This problem also happened with the previous ROM version so its not because of the latest orange ROM.
Any ideas how to fix it guys? Any help would be really appreciated.
(Apologies for the image size, im at work at we have no decent image editing software installed.)
Many thanks.
Think i fixed the problem
Well i cant believe no one else had the same problem as me, think ive fixed it tho.
I installed the great program called GSPocketMagic and this closes down the programs instead of minimizing them.
This seems to of done the trick. The original problem only happens every now and then, usually when i forget to close the programs down, or i get a few texts followed by phone calls whilst leaving other programs running to.
Just thought id let you all know!
Loving the SPV M5000 now, even sold my O2 XDA Mini S now!

Phone Hangs at specific locations

Hi All,
I have a very strange uncommon problem with my Touch P3450 (Elf).
Everyday, I go to work using the same route. At two or three specific locations on the way, my phone become unresponsive (windows 4 color circle, 100% CPU) during 1 or 2 minutes.
During this time, everything is frozen (no way to interact with the phone, no music if I was listening to, and so on ..)
If I close every bit of custom programs installed on the phone (including today screen), I got the same problem.
If I toggle the radio off, then everything works and got no problem.
So, this problem is clearly related to the radio and happens when the cellid changes from one to another specific one that will cause these trouble.
Does anyone have any Idea on what's going on with this ?
Is this a known problem with my Radio version (03.07.90) ? (though I don't remember I had the problem at the beginnings)
How can I trace the problem ?
Is there any Radio Registry tweaks that may help ?
Thanks a lot for you help.

A Few Problems - Texts, Vibration, Other Stuff

Hi all, I've had my HTC HD2 since about Jan/Feb this year. When I first got it, I loved it! However, the past few months I have hated it, yet managed to "bear with it".
For example, it takes an age to load a text message once I have 15-20+ texts from a contact. Once it's loaded it then takes an age to reply. So, for the past 3 months or so, I read the text, come out of it, compose new text, add the recipient, add the message etc and send. Not a major problem, but rather just be able to hit reply, and ta-da, start composing a reply.
Another problem, I'm unable to send picture messages! I managed to send a few when I first got it, but now I can't send or recieve them! Spoke to my mobile provider (Virgin Mobile) a few months ago, went through all the settings, and everything was set up correctly!
Today, the final straw, the vibration has stopped! Turned it off and back on, checked settings etc, nothing.
On top of that, I must get an error report almost daily! Sometimes I'll get 2 or 3 in a row! It's getting so bad, I daren't install any apps etc. At the moment, all it's used for is texting, talking, and Opera. Not exactly using it's full potential! Battery life is also dire, but that another issue....
Anyway, just got off the phone from Virgin Mobile, and they believe the slow texting is a software issue, and should contact HTC direct. They also thing the vibration may be related! (somehow I don't think so).
They suggested a possible software update. How do I do this? Where do I download it from etc? TBH, they were pretty useless and offered no help what-so-ever.
So, I'm now asking you guys. Please help me! Really thought I would love this phone, and the one my mate has (a few years old now), was what persuaded me to get one as I loved his. Yet since owning one, it's been nothing but a ball-ache, and just a paperweight TBH!
TIA

Country?
ROM version?
Radio Version?
you can check them by sliding all the way to the end and scroll down to about phone and software version?
The txt messaging thing is a big problem, screw Virgin they got no clue, the vibration could be software ya never no, if you're on sock (ie what came when you bought the phone) I would suggest a custom ROM so much better performance wise
I', on virgin in the UK there tech team are a freaking joke
Put a decent ROM on your phone and most of the issues will disappear. Especially the SMS one, which pee'd me off to no end when I was running stock ROM.
I'll get the info in a min. Everything is standard from when I first got it!
spireite_uk: nice to see a local on here Where you from? you can come and sort my phone out lol
Country: UK (England)

Live in Tapton, work in Brampton mate. You?
Live in North Wingfield, work in Sheffield....
So, how do I put a new ROM on my phone? Where do I get it from etc? Will I lose anything?
Look in the HD2 ROM Development forum, there's loads and loads of ROMS. Read this first though if you've never flashed a ROM before or could do a bit of damage. It's easy as pie though once you get your head round it.
cheers fella.... gonna have a read of that now
sorry for sounding dumb, but where do I download a ROM from? I have the excel sheet from that link, and I was thinking of this ROM:
ROM Link: [WWE] LEON v3.0 - OUT!! by sharky IIRC
when I click the link in his sig, it just takes me her
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647407
but can't see any obvious download link
Hi.
for LEON ROM, go down on that thread and look at post #4

[Q] Elegencia V2 questions

Hi,
I've searched this site trying to find a solution to my problem but have had no luck so thought I'd post to see if anyone can point me in the right direction. A couple of months back i installed the
Elegencia CHT2 v2.0 WWE ROM. (rom date 31/12/2010)
I installed radio: 2.14.50.04 as this seemed to be fairly well received.
browser Opera 9
The ROM runs fine on my HD2, but since day 1 the 3g connection has been painfully slow and now the novelty of a new ROM has worn off I really need to address the issue. Pages take forever to load and has become very frustrating
It's about a third (at best) of the speed of the standard connection I was receiving on Stock ROM. Also, When I make a call it takes about 5 seconds from pressing an Icon or the "TALK" button until the call starts. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with the ROM or is more likely a radio issue, any ideas? I didn't want to start changing radio's unnecesarily and I quite like the elegancia ROM so would like to try and correct the problem if possible rather than mess around blindly changing anything I can think of.
I appreciate any advice
Cheers
